&gt; I decided that it was not wisdom that enabled [poets] to write their poetry, 
but a kind of instinct or inspiration, such as you find in seers and prophets 
who deliver all their sublime messages without knowing in the least what they 
mean.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; To fear death, my friends, is only to think ourselves wise, without being 
wise: for it is to think that we know what we do not know. For anything that men 
can tell, death may be the greatest good that can happen to them: but they fear 
it as if they knew quite well that it was the greatest of evils. And what is 
this but that shameful ignorance of thinking that we know what we do not know?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; The hour of departure has arrived, and we go our ways -I to die and you to 
live. Which is the better, only God knows?</span></p>
